Iso Fix Guide

Iso fix - LBA Editor
• Intro
• How to use Iso Fix
• How to make an Iso Fix config file

Intro: This utility will fix a given ISO image with a known starting LBA value so resulting image fixed.iso will have starting LBA = 0. This will allow you to extract the games files with Toast or similar app. This is intended for multisession ISO tracks whose contents cannot be
extracted if not burned at right position on a real CD.

How to use Iso Fix: Open Isofix and you will be asked to choose the file you wish to convert, and also to choose an isofix config file which will determine what parameters are set. Please note that you MUST enter a valid LBA value in the config file, otherwise resulting image will likely be wrong! A right starting LBA value can be retrieved from original CDI image when using CDIrip (look at LBA value for that data track) or from CD itself if it's already burned (see start sector of data track).

How to make an Iso Fix config file:
Note: Future revisions of this utility may incorporate these features without the need for a config file, but for now you have to use it. A sample file is included in this archive. Just open any text editor and do the following:

1) On the first line type "isofix" without quotation marks
2) On the second line type the start LBA for the iso. CDIRip will give you this number if you obtained it that way.
3) On the third line type the below options you desire separated by a space:

boot if present it will only extract boot area from image.iso and exit
header if present it will only extract ISO header and exit
mac will write ISO image in Mac/2056 format (auto if source ISO = 2056)
iso will force standard ISO/2048 format for output (only for Mac users)
